Quirkyalone: n. a person who enjoys being single (or spending time alone) and so prefers to wait for the right person to come along rather than dating indiscriminately; relishing equal doses of solitude and friendship; attracted to freedom and possibility. Also adj.: The condition of being equally at home with singledom and being in a healthy relationship, undivided, whole. Of, relating to, or embodying quirkyalones.

(adj., n., rare) 1. A state of contented celibacy which is accidentally norm-bucking. Would not even theoretically be used by those who might actually be "quirkyalone" (e.g., Katherine Hepburn; Nina Simone; Angelina Jolie post-Billy Bob Thornton and pre-Brad Pitt).

I wish my married friends would talk about something other than their sex lives and kids and other married friends :( !! They'll never understand what it's like for us quirkyalones. I'll post more on this later -- time to feed the cat!!
